Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio now has its full trailer and it’s something to behold. We got our first glimpse of the upcoming Netflix movie over the summer, but now fans can see what Del Toro and legendary animator Mark Gustafson have in store for this classic story.
The new film is more in tune with the original tale by Carlo Collodi and less from the Disney animated classic. Yes, there’s some crossover, but as the trailer tells upfront, this is not the story you might know. Check it out below.
With a script by del Toro and Patrick McHale, creator of Over The Garden Wall, and directed by del Toro and Gustafson, the film was originally announced by del Toro in 2008 and originally scheduled to be released in 2013 or 2014. The project soon found itself in development limbo. McHale was brought on in 2017 to co-write the script, but in November 2017, the production was suspended as no studios were willing to provide the financing. The production was revived the following year after being acquired by Netflix.
